Or, welcome to my low-maintenance heck.

When a slow Friday throws you a curveball, I've found it's always best to toss it on over to Bollywood. The (fake) translations are what make this video truly memorable. [Ed.:—Well, other than the music that will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day, that is.]

[Slight language warning for some of the "fake but accurate" translations.]

Great find Brian. Small FYI if you care: This isn't technically Bollywood. It is a Tamil movie from one of the South Indian states, which is a whole different animal than Bollywood. The male dancer goes by the name Prabhu Deva; and is considered to be very skilled dancer; his local nickname - 'boneless spring'. Youtube his name and you'll find a lot of similar videos, though they all might lack this hilarious subtitle.

That is [i]really[/i] interesting to know—Thank you for sharing that with me. I do have one question, though: You wouldn't perchance know the actual translation of the main stanza, do you? We're dying to know over here!

"My loony bun is fine Benny Lava,Minor Bun Engine Made Benny Lava"

I'll definitely be YouTube'ing him to see more. Oh, and Buffalax, wherever you are, my hat's off to you!

As with a majority of contemporary Indian movie soundtracks, the lyrics doesn't make sense, and it might sound ridiculous even when not translated. And I'm not proficient in either language; Nevertheless, here's my best attempt:

[b]Kalluri vaanil kaaindha nilaavo[/b][i]Is this the moon that shines on the College Sky[/i]Kalluri = CollegeVaanil = on the skykaaindha = shining/shines/shine/shoneNilaa = Moon; Nilaavo = querying

The second video is definitely catchy, though I'm no good at coming up with "translations" for it. I need to figure out a way to send it to Buffalax for "diagnosis..." but thank you kindly for sharing both of those with me - they'll be stuck in my head forever now.

Here's another one I found through Bx's YouTube page. It's a bit racy for a post all its own, but the music is [i]definitely[/i] hypnotic.

I can see how my weekend's going to get spent already. I am going to get [i]absolutely[/i] nothing done. D'oh!

Be sure to keep sending things along, if you ever run across something you think I'll like. You never know when a Slow Friday might pop up and surprise us again!
